Main Dir Ata The people around me are the most important people in my life. I cherish you all from the bottom of my heart and thank all of you for still being here for me, with me, through my highs and lows, through the brightest and darkest days of my life. Especially thank you to those that have put up with me for years OR put up with me through everything in 2025, you shine the brightest in my heart and mean the world to me and evermore.

Winter, my wonderful wife who I adore with my entire being. I never thought anyone would love me as kindly and patiently as you have. My entire life, I've always wanted to be truly and fully seen and understood for who I am, what I do, what I love, and every aspect of me, and you love me for me and so much more. I've never felt so secure with someone and I wish that I had met you sooner. I love that you share things with me, about the things you love and traits about yourself, and that you don't hide the worst away from me. Your transparency with me makes me feel so comforted, and I hope you know that no matter how negatively you might see yourself some days, I will always point out the positives about you and help you through your worst, just like you've done for me. You deserve everything in the world and stars, and so much more past them, and I hope I can dedicate my life to showing you what you mean to me.

Rowin, my best friend for life and so much more. I still remember how crazy we felt the first day we got back in contact with you in November. We keep finding each other everywhere and it truly has been a blessing to be able to call myself your friend and be able to spend time with you almost every day. You are so loved by me, truly, there's no amount of words I can say to you that conveys how I feel about you. You've seen me at my worst, and now at my best, and I appreciate how patient you've tried to be with me through everything. I hope that I can return the favor to you, and show you every day just how much I love and cherish you.
